Hey all! Today I guest posted about how I use the No Poo method to save money on hair care. Check it out on my friend Cat’s blog!
Note from Cat: I happen to be lucky enough to be good friends with Andrea, who agreed to do a guest blog post for me on the No Poo method. And no, it doesn’t involve your bathroom habits, but a frugal addition to your hair care arsenal. Read on, and be sure to visit Andrea at A Measured Life;

My hair is very fine, and thin. I used to have lots more, but have lost a good bit over the years. I do have a question about how much solution to use when you wash your hair, though. I used what I thought was enough, but it was less than 1/4 of a cup. Is that enough??

I use about 1/2 cup but I have really long hair. I could probably use a bit less. 🙂 Glad you gave it a try?
